Akeeba Backup for WordPress 8.2.4 Stable

Released on: 2024-07-22 03:42 CDT

What's new?

Remove MariaDB MyISAM option PAGE_CHECKSUM from the database dump. Trying to restore MyISAM tables backed up on MariaDB into a MySQL database will fail because of the PAGE_CHECKSUM=1 flag. We now remove it at backup time to prevent this problem.

Edit and reset the cache directory (Joomla! 5.1+) on restoration. You can see and change the cache directory when restoring a site. Moreover, when you use the “Reset caching options” ANGIE will reset the cache directory along with the other cache preferences.

Improve database dump with table names similar to default values. Let's say you have a database table named foo and a database column with the definition `bar` VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT 'foo'. Because of the way the database table name replacement work in the past, the column definition would end up being `bar` VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT '`foo`' which could be invalid. This would be especially problematic if you have tables named 0 or 1. We now make sure that situations like that will not occur during database backup.

Change the wording of the message when navigating to an off-site directory in the directory browser. Some people were confused with the wording of the message displayed when you navigate to an off-site directory, making them believe the directory cannot be used. The wording has been clarified after receiving feedback about it.

Bug fixes and minor improvements. Please take a look at the CHANGELOG below.
